If i should go for VPS then kindly suggest a good and affordable one, will i able to host samp server and website both?

VPS. Always go for a VPS. It requires a lot of tinkering and management, but it's worth it since you can control a lot more.

Agreed.

If you aren't familiar with Linux, then go for a hosting provider that offers per-slots. It will give you less hassle, and in most cases better protection against attacks.

Otherwise, get a VPS.

OVH offers pretty cheap rates for Windows VPS. Usually, you'd have to pay an extra fee for the Windows license and you'd be sacrificing a lot more RAM than you would if you had a Linux VPS.

Yeah, the windows vps from OVH is really cheap and easy to use, the only thing you need to do with your SA-MP server is add the .exe's to the firewall.
